Honister Cottage 1628

We were in the village of Seatoller in the Lake District a couple of weeks ago and were captivated by this cottage dating back to 1628.

Is the door the original one? I don’t know. Probably not, though by normal standards it’s pretty old. I must see if I can find out any more about this cottage when we go back to the village next month.

We met a group of walkers in the village who were doing the Coast-to-Coast Walk. One of them said, “I think I’ve just found the most beautiful village in the world.”

Thanks Lauren. Yes, I was so delighted to find it on a walk around this tiny, tiny village. We’re going back to the area in a couple of weeks, so who knows what other hidden gems I might be lucky enough to find. I really appreciate your comments.

There are good deals at the Borrowdale Hotel, a very traditional quintessentially English 4star hotel. It’s still expensive at £150 for two but for that you get tea and scones on arrival, a wonderful 4 -course dinner (with a full alternative veggie menu in addition to all the fancy meaty/fishy stuff) a lovely room . Also being a big hotel with only 40 rooms , there are loads of lounge areas/ conservatory to sit in when you come back tired and possibly soaked after a walk. The village of Seatoller is a few minutes away.
As soon as we came back from Borrowdale, we booked another 3 two day breaks there!
And ,NO, I do not work for the hotel, nor do I get commission for recommending. LOL
Thanks for all your likes and comments.
